About Fort Stewart
Driving through a forest of the pine trees of this southern post, one can’t help but channel Ray Charles and belt out “Georgia on My Mind.” Located in the heart of Georgia’s “Low Country,” Fort Stewart began as Camp Stewart at the start of WWI when the U.S. government needed a large plot of land to train anti-aircraft maneuvers. As the war waned, so did Camp Stewart’s purposes, causing the government to use it solely as a National Guard training facility until the next conflict arose. This pattern of opening and closing the camp’s doors continued until the Korean War. In 1956, the training focus shifted to armor and artillery, and Camp Stewart was redesignated as Fort Stewart. In 1996, the 3rd Infantry Division moved from Europe and reactivated at Fort Stewart, and it remains the installation’s most notable tenant unit.
Believe it or not, Fort Stewart is considered the largest Army post east of the Mississippi River when you’re strictly comparing land mass! It’s conveniently located in southern coastal Georgia, so you’re a day trip away from the beach (Hilton Head, anyone?). Hiking, outdoor adventures, and all the Southern hospitality you can dream of are at your fingertips. Life moves slower down here, and the heat and humidity are downright oppressive, but that makes for a great excuse to head east to the ocean! Use this stop on your military journey to get out there and explore this area rich in history and Southern charm.
Fort Stewart is a rapid deployment center due to its location on a major interstate (I-95) and the waterways of Savannah, meaning the OPTEMPO is high, and your soldier is bound to be busy.
The elementary schools at Fort Stewart are some of the few remaining DoDEA schools and are a draw for military families. Included in Fort Stewart’s garrison is nearby Hunter Army Airfield (AAF), which is located about an hour away in Savannah—a historically charming city filled with great restaurants, museums, and one of the largest St. Patrick’s Day parades in the United States, featuring over 350 marching units.

About Hunter Army Airfield
In the heart of Savannah, Hunter Army Airfield is a part of the Fort Stewart garrison. Hunter AAF humbly began as Chatham Air Force Base, located eight miles north of Savannah. In 1967, the Army acquired the base, moved it to Savannah, and designated it Hunter Army Airfield. Today Hunter AAF is notably home to the 3rd Combat Aviation Brigade, the 1/75th Ranger Regiment, the 3/160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR), and even a Coast Guard station.
This is a tiny installation with limited on-base housing. There is a medical clinic on post, notably missing an emergency room, so many families utilize civilian healthcare services. The gym on post, Tominac Fitness Center, is top-notch and replete with an indoor swimming pool. Did you expect any less with the Rangers and the 160th SOAR occupying the base? The commissary and PX are tiny but adequate.
Hunter AAF is in a great location, so get out and explore. Coastal Georgia is hot and humid during the long summer months, but you have to expect that being in the South. Pack up the family and head to Tybee Island or Hilton Head for the day—the dishes can wait! Life slows down a bit in this part of the South, but the OPTEMPO is high, so take advantage of nearby destinations when you get family time.
If you are looking for a true downtown with off-the-charts walkability, lots of culture, and an artsy vibe, then Savannah is for you. If you’re looking for your typical “city living” with all the major box stores at your fingertips, Pooler or Richmond Hill may be your style. Are you feeling a beachy vibe? Live on one of the islands—Tybee, Whitemarsh, or Wilmington. If rural, country living suits your fancy, you can head to Effingham County. Military families stationed at Hunter AAF seem to be spread out, choosing their location based on commute, schools, and area vibe.

Hinesville
About
Located in coastal southeast Georgia and filled with pine trees, Hinesville is a fairly stereotypical military town, featuring a historic downtown and a mix of pawn shops and strip malls. Working hard to shed that image, the city of Hinesville recently cut the ribbon on Oglethorpe Square. This shopping complex has been a long time coming and is home to Dick’s Sporting Goods, Hobby Lobby, T.J. Maxx, Longhorn Steakhouse, Panda Express, Chick-fil-A, and Starbucks, to name a few. Before Oglethorpe, major shopping was done in Savannah, over an hour away.
Hinesville became a city in the early 1900s, but its population waxed and waned along with Camp Stewart’s from 1945 to 1960. When the camp was redesignated as Fort Stewart, the city of Hinesville breathed a sigh of relief and began seeing a steady population increase. Hinesville now has 35,000 residents, and Fort Stewart is the town’s primary source of employment.
Neighbors
Hinesville is a predominantly military town. Your neighbors will likely be your office mates or someone down the hall. As a result, Hinesville tends to have a more transient population that follows the PCS cycle.
Neighborhood Feel
Perception is everything here in Hinesville. Just look at Oglethorpe Square! Resources are slim, and revitalization efforts are slow, but the city is evolving.

Points of Interest
- Historic Liberty County Courthouse
- Main Street Park
- Downtown Hinesville
- Oglethorpe Square
Big Plus
- Oglethorpe Square is a big deal here in Hinesville. To locals, having shopping and restaurants right at your fingertips is a novelty. Dick’s Sporting Goods, Chick-fil-A, Hobby Lobby, and Panda Express are just a few of the attractions. This means fewer trips to Savannah for essentials.
- Hinesville is the closest off-post living option to Fort Stewart.
- The beach is only a day trip away—don’t miss out!
Things to Consider
- Hinesville is growing, which means more traffic. But don’t worry—“ traffic” only adds five to ten minutes to your commute during peak times.
- The economic divide is noticeable, and it isn’t uncommon to find lovely homes next to some not-so-nice homes. The lack of city funds is visible in the dilapidated buildings and unkempt streets.
- Georgia is wiltingly hot and humid during the summer but has mild winters.
By the Numbers
- Population: 34,891
- Household Income: $47,563

Richmond HIll
About
Closer to Hunter Army Airfield than Fort Stewart, Richmond Hill is an increasingly popular choice for military families. If work supporting both bases is a possibility, or if you are a spouse looking for a job in Savannah, then Richmond Hill is an ideal location. It is a family-friendly town with excellent schools, a satellite military treatment facility, and friendly housing options. Our insider spouses tout it as being a “newer, nicer, more beautiful” area with houses that are not that much more expensive.
Despite being sandwiched between two major highways (right off I-95 and west of U.S. Highway 17), Richmond Hill has maintained a small-town feel. You’re more apt to find “mom and pop” stores, independently run restaurants, boutiques, and pottery stores than big-box options, even though Richmond Hill doesn’t have a distinct downtown. There is a Walmart, but it’s on the edge of town. There are festivals for every holiday and great outdoorsy activities for the adventurous types—hiking, hunting, or kayaking, anyone? Not to mention you’re only an hour from the beach!
Neighbors
More than half of Richmond Hill’s population comprises military families, so chances are your neighbor is in the same boat. Don’t be a stranger; take a walk after dinner and get to know your potential next best friend.
Neighborhood Feel
More people rent than buy here in Richmond Hill, and most choose to live here for the school system. Homes for sale start around $200,000 and lie in golf communities or subdivisions. More and more subdivisions are popping up, and with so many to choose from, be sure to hire a real estate agent to guide you through the process. Richmond Hill is considered a suburb of Savannah and is rapidly growing but maintains traditional “Americana” vibes.

Points of Interest
- J.F. Gregory Park
- The Ice Cream Stop
- Fort McAllister State Park
Big Plus
- This is a growing city, but it is actively trying to preserve its local business population and small-town feel. Being close to Savannah, you have the best of both worlds.
- A sense of family and Southern hospitality drives this city.
- Richmond Hill is an excellent choice for military spouses looking to work in Savannah. Highly rated schools also add to the appeal.
Things to Consider
- The commute is no less than 30 minutes to either Hunter AAF or Fort Stewart. There is only one road into each post, which can get congested. Beware if you choose to live in Richmond Hill and are stationed at Fort Stewart—the dark, rural roads can be pretty dangerous and have claimed many deer.
- South Georgia gets hot—we’re talking sweltering hot in the summer months. Reprieve comes in the winter with mild temps and hardly ever any snow.

Ludowici
About
If you, or more likely your parents, were road-tripping through Georgia in the ‘50s or ‘60s, you may have come across the infamous Ludowici speed trap. Legend has it that law enforcement rigged the traffic lights on streets primarily used by tourists, allowing them to pull over everyone in sight without angering the locals and providing misguided revenue for the town. This practice continued until a new mayor didn’t like the bad publicity and put up a huge billboard warning motorists to slow down while poking fun at the city.
If you are looking for a rural getaway that’s close to post but far enough away to leave the military vibe behind, then Ludowici is your town. It’s described as a peaceful place in a country setting and is the epitome of a small town with a population of around 1,500 people—that’s less than a brigade. The pronunciation is unique (loo-dough-WISSY), and knowing it will help you fit right in. The cost of living is low, and if you’re looking for land, this is your place.
Neighbors
Ludowici has a rural feel and a local flare and is a quintessential Deep South Georgia town. Your neighbors aren’t going to be on top of you, and you may have to walk a ways (it’s a solid unit of measure here) to borrow a cup of sugar from your neighbor. There are some new subdivisions with homes built after 2000 to suit those looking for a closer community feel.
Neighborhood Feel
Small-town living and Southern hospitality mixed with historical charm are what you’ll find in Ludowici. With lots of land and country living, it’s the perfect area for those with horses. But if that isn’t your type of living, there are also newer subdivisions with “cookie-cutter,” affordable two-story homes with decent yards and neighbors aplenty.

- Household Income: $54,207
- Median Home Value: Median home values and the median rental rate vary widely in this area. See your real estate agent for a local market analysis.
Big Plus
- This is as rural as it comes. If you’re looking for a quiet oasis not too far from post, Ludowici is your town.
Things to Consider
- If you like to live within 20 minutes of a Target, this may not be the best place to settle down. You’ll have to make the drive into Savannah for specialized shopping.

Savannah
About 
Savannah epitomizes Southern hospitality and proclaims itself "The Hostess City of the South." This city has played a significant role in American history dating back to the Revolutionary War.
Cotton was king in this coastal city and provided much wealth to the region throughout the years. Savannah's English settlers had the foresight to plan the city in a grid fashion, allowing for beautiful, tree-lined streets and abundant green spaces that have survived everything from war and epidemics to hurricanes. In 1966, Savannah's entire Historic District was designated a National Historic Landmark, preserving its rich history and unique charm.
Savannah has become the go-to destination for St. Patrick's Day in the South. The city has events all March long, the most notable of which are presenting the world-famous St. Patrick's Day Parade and dyeing the fountains green, beginning with the fountain in the famous Forsyth Park.
Admirers of architecture, culture and food are drawn to Savannah. Aside from being an aesthetically pleasing town, Savannah has a vibrant arts community with film festivals, museums, and galleries. The presence of the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), which has classroom buildings spread throughout downtown, injects vibrancy and youth into the city. This compact downtown's walkability is off the charts, so exploring is easy.
Neighbors
Savannah residents are an eclectic lot, but the one type of person you are guaranteed to encounter is "The Tourist." Visitors flock to the iconic downtown, and sharing the streets with crowds of tourists is just a part of life. Savannah is not what you would consider a "typical military town." Your neighbors downtown are going to be hipsters and artists. Heading toward the outskirts of Savannah, you're more apt to find upper-middle-class families.
Neighborhood Feel
Neighborhoods in Savannah run the gamut from historic downtown apartments to luxe suburban enclaves—all of it with Southern charm. One of Savannah's most recognizable landscape features are the ancient live oaks dripping with Spanish moss. These elegant trees shade park benches and sidewalks, and the moss sways with the breeze.

Downtown Savannah
Downtown Savannah is a cultural mecca with history, tourism, and commerce. Like in most urban cores, inhabitants tend to be younger, single, and childless and flock to lively nightlife, galleries, and chic restaurants. It’s not uncommon to stumble upon a yoga class while visiting one of the famous breweries that line River Street along the Savannah River. Foodies rejoice! There is a growing farm-to-table movement taking root in the many eclectic restaurants. Be selective when choosing a place to live downtown, as some streets can quickly become “hit or miss” for crime.
Commute
Commuting from downtown Savannah to Fort Stewart will take roughly an hour. On the upside, you’ll be following a reverse commuting pattern, and there isn’t much gridlock.
Downtown is located right outside the gate of Hunter Army Airfield (AAF), making that commute a nonissue.
Berwick Plantation
Located southwest of historic downtown Savannah, Berwick Plantation is a popular family community. Get excited! This is where you can find Target and other popular big-box retailers and grocery stores. Contrary to popular belief, Savannah’s cost of living is lower than expected, and reasonably priced housing options are abundant. Schools in this area have a good reputation and many private school options.
Homes
Affordable single-family homes and condos in nice golf communities are the norms in Berwick Plantation.
Commute
If you want easy access to downtown Savannah but want a more family-oriented living experience, then Berwick Plantation in south Savannah is an excellent choice for you. Berwick Plantation is a 45-minute drive from Fort Stewart and only 20 minutes from Hunter AAF. Here, you’re no more than 20 minutes from the outlets in Pooler or downtown Savannah for date night.

7 Reasons You Should Consider Buying a Home
1. TAX ADVANTAGES
To encourage homeownership, the IRS has provided many tax breaks for owning a home. Credits may be available for specific home improvements, such as using clean energy or for qualified first-time home buyers. The way most homeowners see those advantages is through income tax itemization and deductions like mortgage interest and real estate taxes.
2. STABALIZE MONTHLY HOME COSTS
Owning your own house is one of the safest bets on stabilizing your monthly home costs. There’s no worry of rent getting increased significantly after each year of living in someone else’s home. Additionally, when you answer to yourself, there is no worry of landlord changes or unexpected lease termination.
3. HOUSE HACKING
Generally speaking, house hacking is a smart strategy that involves renting out a portion of your primary residence as a means of generating income to offset your own living expenses. Think turning your finished basement or mother-in-law quarters into an AirBnB! Or consider purchasing a multi-unit duplex or triplex: live on one side and rent out the other! If your home making money while you’re living in it doesn’t sound like your thing, there’s always renting it out after you PCS as an income generating investment property.
4. Increased Privacy
Generally speaking, house hacking is a smart strategy that involves renting out a portion of your primary residence as a means of generating income to offset your own living expenses. Think turning your finished basement or mother-in-law quarters into an AirBnB! Or consider purchasing a multi-unit duplex or triplex: live on one side and rent out the other! If your home making money while you’re living in it doesn’t sound like your thing, there’s always renting it out after you PCS as an income generating investment property.
5. Pets Are Welcome!
For those who choose to rent instead of buying, it can be extremely difficult to find rentals who allow for your
four-legged, furry friends. Landlords often require hefty pet deposits or place heavy restrictions on the number of pets and breeds they allow—if they will even allow pets. When considering quality of life, including beloved pets and the indoor and outdoor space available to them matters. Having the flexibility to include ALL members of your family as a homeowner is priceless!
6. Pride of Ownership
One of the greatest benefits of owning your own home is the pride of ownership that comes along with it. Not only are homeowners more inclined to take good care of their investment with routine maintenance and cleaning, but also they are free to make design choices ranging from hanging artwork on the walls, to paint colors, to customization of closets, electronics, and more. As military families who relocate frequently, having your home reflect who you really are feels important.
7. Safe and Stable Long Term Investment + Forced Savings
Owning a home has historically been one of the safest, lowest risk financial investments that tends to have long-term stability and success. As your home value appreciates and your mortgage balance decreases, what’s left is growing equity with an eventual paid off home. Making a monthly house payment is akin to setting aside a specific amount each month into a savings account—it’s a little difficult to access in the moment, but over time it can build into something significant in the form of equity.
FIVE RESOURCES TO HELP YOU IN YOUR RELOCATION PROCESS
Your PCS is underway!
The home buying and moving transition process has begun. Now what? If it feels like there are a million things to do, don’t fret because you don’t have to do them all yourself. During the relocation process, there are many service providers that can assist you in making your move a smooth one.
Consider these five resources to help you in the process
1. MOVING COMPANIES
Sure, the military offers transportation and relocation services, but many service members decide to coordinate the transfer of household goods themselves. Not only can you often earn money on the difference between moving costs and weight allowances, but you can be assured that you have more control over your belongings. Services that moving companies offer can range from delivery of boxes and pods for the “you-pack” model all the way to full-service logistics companies that will do all of the packing, loading, driving, and unpacking for you.
2. STORAGE
Whether you need to store your household goods for a few weeks until you close on your home or you decide that you have more stuff than square footage, storage companies abound. Sizes, conditions, and contracts vary widely so be sure to do your homework before you commit. Particularly in climates with extreme cold, heat, or humidity, it is important to consider using only climate-controlled storage to ensure the protection of your furniture and temporarily unused items.
3. TEMPORARY HOUSING
It is not uncommon for there to be a short gap of time during a military move between when you arrive at your new duty station and your new home being available to inhabit. No longer are hotels the only option for sticking out a few days or weeks during the wait. Vacation Rentals by Owner (VRBO) and Airbnb are great options to make you feel more at home while you wait for your home. In fact, why not take advantage of seeing your new city through the eyes of a tourist? Find a location near new local attractions and dining and enjoy a few days of getting to know the lay of the land.
4. USPS/IRS
Once you get settled in at your new home, it’s important that you alert agencies that will make sure your current and up-to-date address is on file. The United States Postal Service (USPS) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) are two of the most important and by doing so, any important mail or documents in your name should be forwarded or sent along to your new address. It’s also a good idea to notify banks, credit card companies, and other debt collectors of a change of address. These days nearly all of these transactions can be handled online.
5. DISCARD & DONATE SERVICES
No matter how much you purge, toss, organize, minimize, or donate before you pack up the moving truck, it never fails that after you get unpacked on the other side there seems to be more stuff to declutter. Discard and donate services can help with this. Many are a phone call away and will happily come to your residence for a pickup. Others are structured where you simply drop off at a store. A lot of these services are charitable organizations and will offer you documentation for your own taxes based on your donation. It’s a win-win: you downsize by donating, and someone else benefits from your use of your items.
